Erda & Co.1897 Long Island City, NY 4pp. Letterhead to Daimler Motor / Steinway

On 29 September 1888, piano manufacturer William Steinway established the Daimler Motor Company on Long Island, New York. Thus began the history of Daimler in North America, 125 years ago – just two years after the birth of the automobile. The aim was to produce stationary and marine engines in the United States according to a patent owned by Gottlieb Daimler. Source: group-media.mercedes-benz.com
